FAQs

What material is this pot made from?

The pot is made from a durable composite of stone, resin, and fibreglass, designed to mimic the look of ceramic while being more practical.

Can this pot be used both indoors and outdoors?

Yes, it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. It features a drainage hole with a removable bung for versatility.

How should I clean the pot?

Clean the pot with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Will the blue color fade in the sun?

No, the pot has a UV-protected finish specifically designed to resist fading from sun exposure, maintaining its rich color year-round.

What are the dimensions of this specific 'Small' size?

This small size measures approximately 36cm in diameter and 30cm in height.

Is the pot heavy?

It is designed to be lightweight compared to traditional ceramic pots, making it easier to handle and move, even when planted.

Can I leave this pot outside in winter?

The pot is weather-resistant. However, for extreme cold, emptying the pot of soil and water is recommended to prevent potential damage from ice expansion.

Troubleshooting

Pot has water spots or streaks.

Wipe the pot with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Dry thoroughly with a separate soft cloth to prevent new water spots.

Drainage hole is blocked.

Gently clear any obstructions from the drainage hole. Ensure the removable bung is properly seated or removed as needed for your environment.

Color appears faded.

Ensure the pot is kept clean. The UV-protected finish is designed to resist fading, but excessive, prolonged direct exposure combined with dirt can alter appearance over time. Regular cleaning is recommended.

Pot feels heavier than expected.

While significantly lighter than ceramic, the composite material does have some weight, especially larger sizes. Ensure you have assistance if needed for repositioning when planted.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Prepare for Planting: Ensure the drainage hole is clear. If using indoors, insert the provided bung securely to prevent water leakage. If using outdoors, remove the bung to allow for natural drainage.
Add Drainage Layer: Consider adding a layer of gravel or broken pottery shards at the bottom of the pot for enhanced drainage, especially for plants sensitive to overwatering.
Potting: Fill with appropriate potting mix and plant your chosen flora.

Compatibility:

Suitable for most common plants, including flowers, herbs, shrubs, and small trees.
Ideal for use with standard potting soils and fertilizers.
Compatible with both indoor and outdoor environments.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. For tougher marks, use mild soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the high-gloss finish.
Winter Care: While weather-resistant, it's advisable to empty the pot of soil and water during prolonged freezing periods to prevent any potential internal stress from ice expansion, though the material is designed for resilience.
